The rocket attacks (they are oh so sucessful, claiming less than 1 Israeli life for every 1000 Palestinians - is that your estimation of the worth of an Arab vs. that of a Israeli?), were commenced only AFTER Israel had made repeated incursions, and other seizures, etc in Gaza in that truce's violation.<BR/>These ineffective rockets are the ONLY way Hamas has to respond.<BR/><BR/>All this was provoked by the powers that be in Israel, to allow them to finally unleash this long-planned campaign, in an ultra transparent effort to influence the voting of 2/2009, which worked rather well as we now see.<BR/><BR/>People like you or Goldberg always portray the Israeli's as merely reacting to intolerable provocations, thus of being the victim, when in fact much of the time that is simply not true.<BR/><BR/>Remember Lebanon in 2006? We now know, despite Israel's claims to the contratry, that the soldiers "kidnapped" which set off that war, were actually seized in Lebanon. Who provoked whom there?<BR/><BR/>Same goes to all the targeted leader killing that Israel undertakes. Those are not provocations, no. And even if they were, we are supposed to think that that is Ok, when it so flagrantly violates laws left and right.<BR/><BR/>So go ahead, and always see Israel as the victim. one that is incapable of doing anything wrong.

I didn't die but many innocent people did, including friends and colleagues. I am unwell to this day from the trauma. <BR/><BR/>When you casually talk about killing innocent people for a "rhetorical" political reason, you really have no idea of how much pain and anguish is behind your words and how low you are sinking. They may just be words or rhetoric to you but to those who have been through terrorism -- the smell of dead flesh and the horror of never seeing your family and your babies again rises in your throat like a kind of death. <BR/><BR/>Ask any Holocaust survivor how they feel when they hear Neo-Nazis talking and you will get an idea of how a terrorist victim feels when someone like you talks about terrorism to score "blogging" points."
